You need to cast the RemoveSelectedTitle as a string. As your using the Viewbag this is a dynamic object and doesn't know the RemoveSelectedTitle is a string. You ActionLink should be something like:

@Html.ActionLink((string)ViewBag.RemoveSelectedTitle, "RemoveSelected")

When using ViewBag in conjunction with HTML helpers that expect strings, you have to cast to a string, as follows:

@Html.ActionLink((string)ViewBag.RemoveSelectedTitle, "RemoveSelected")

This is because the compiler does not know the type of ViewBag.RemoveSelectedTitle due to ViewBag being a dynamic type.

I was trying to concatenate some hard coded text, and an int from the ViewBag, and found that this syntax worked:

@Html.ActionLink((string)("Remove Selected - # " + ViewBag.RemoveSelectedNumber.ToString()), "RemoveSelected")
